Suppose that consumer spending initially rises by $5 billion for every 1 percent rise in household wealth and that investment spending initially rises by $20 billion for every 1 percentage point fall in the real interest rate. Also assume that the economy’s multiplier is 4. a. If household wealth falls by 5 percent because of declining house values, and the real interest rate falls by 3 percentage points, in what direction and by how much will the aggregate demand curve initially shift at each price level?
Suppose concerns about the size of the federal budget deficit lead the U.S. Congress to cut all funding for research and development for ten years. Assuming this has an impact on technology growth, what does the AD/AS model predict would be the likely effect on equilibrium GDP and the price level?
10.1For each of the following events,explain the short-run and long-run effects on output and price level,assuming policymakers take no action. a) The stock market declines sharply,reducing consumers' wealth. b) The federal government increases spending on national defence. 10.2 In which of the following circumstances is expansionary fiscal policy more likely to lead to a short-run increase in investment?Explain. a)When the investment accelarator is large or when it is small?
Assume that (a)the price level is flexible upward but not downward and (b) the economy iscurrently operating at its full-employment output. Other things equal, how willeach of the following affect the equilibrium price level and equilibrium levelof real output in the short run?· An increase in aggregate demand.· A decrease in aggregate supply, with no change in aggregatedemand.· Equal increases in aggregate demand and aggregate supply.· A decrease in aggregate demand.· An increase in aggregate demand that exceeds an increase inaggregate supply.
11. Which of the following statements about the Long-Run Aggregate Supply (LRAS) are true? a) The LRAS represents the full-employment level of real GDP. b) The LRAS represents the level of income and production consistent with resource markets equilibrium. c) The LRAS represents the potential production of the economy. d) All of the above. e) None of the above. 12. Which of the following describes the way in which the self-correcting mechanism of the economy resolves the problem of a recessionary gap? a) The recessionary gap is cured by an increase in government purchases of goods and services, which implies a shift to the right of the AD curve until full employment equilibrium is reestablished. b) The unemployment associated with a recessionary gap causes wages to fall, increasing Aggregate Supply and thus shifting the AS curve to the right until a full employment equilibrium is reestablished. c) The unemployment…
3)Show and explain the effects of an increase in aggregate demand in the long-run and short-run by using AD–AScurves.2)Show and explain by using a graph, what will happen to the price level and real GDP if the quantity of moneyincreases and the increase is not anticipated; that is, the price level is not expected to change.1)By using aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS) curves, show and explain the effects of ananticipated increase in money supply on macroeconomic equilibrium according to Rational ExpectationsHypothesis.
a. What are the short-run equilibrium real GDP and price level in 2019?b. What is the long-run equilibrium real GDP?c. Is the short-run macroeconomic equilibrium a full-employment equilibrium, belowfull-employment equilibrium, or above full-employment equilibrium?d. In transition to the long run, how would the wages in this economy change?e. Following from d, explain how would the short run supply curve move to its long runposition, as the changes in the nominal wages take effect.f. What will the long run price level be?
Consider a closed economy, where wages are sticky in the short run. The consumption function isC = c0 + c1(Y − T ), where the marginal propensity to consume c1 is equal to 0.75. Initially the economy is in equilibrium at Y = Y* and P = P e, where P e is the price level that was expected when agents agreed their fixed nominal wage contracts. The short-run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) is horizontal. Suddenly the government increases government spending G by $500. 1. By how much will output Y change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated? 2. By how much will consumption C change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated? 3. By how much will investment I change (compared to its initial level before the change in G) in the long run, after wage contracts are renegotiated?
Assume that the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 and that taxes are exogenous. Imagine that government expenditure increases by $10m. Begin by assuming that the interest rate and prices stay fixed. 1. What is the value of the aggregate expenditure multiplier (k)? 2. How would the change be represented in an AD-AS diagram? 3. How would the change differ if the interest rate could change (assuming prices remain fixed)? 4. How would the change differ if the price level could also change?
Suppose that a decrease in the demand for goods and services pushes the economy into arecession. In your own words, explain what happens to the price level and real GDP? Explainhow the economy will eventually get back to the potential output?
Suppose that consumer spending initially rises by $5 billion for every 1 percent rise in household wealth and that investment spending initially rises by $20 billion for every 1 percentage point fall in the real interest rate. Also assume that the economy�s multiplier is 3. If household wealth falls by 6 percent because of declining house values, and the real interest rate falls by 2 percentage points, in what direction and by how much will the aggregate demand curve initially shift at each price level? The aggregate demand curve will shift_____ by $____ billion. In what direction and by how much will it eventually shift? The aggregate demand curve will shift_____ by $____ billion..
